ZENIT ST PETERSBURG 1 (Hulk 28)
PORTO 1 (Gonzalez 23)
Gonzalez headed in Danilo's cross. Hulk got the home side level when he punished a mistake by Porto's joke goalkeeper Helton. Helton made amends with a second half penalty save from the same player. The game picked up and there were chances at both ends. It was probably one of the most competitive UCL games of the week.

BASEL 1 (Piovaccari 17)
STEAUA BUCHAREST 1 (Sio 91)

NAPOLI 3 (Inler 22, Higuain 24, Higuain 75)
MARSEILLE 2 (Ayew 10, Thauvin 64)
Andre Ayew headed in a corner. Inler ran onto a clearance, took the ball on his chest and smacked a terrific half volley into the bottom right corner. Higuain punished Diawara's awful header to blast Napoli in front. Thauvin volleyed in the equaliser but Higuain struck 10 minutes later when Marseille's offside trap allowed Mertens to centre for his winner.
Benitez was upto his old tricks, leaving Hamsik on the bench until Marseille's second goal. The moron never learns.

BARCELONA 3 (Messi 30 Pen, Busquets 40, Messi 83)
MILAN 1 (Pique 45 og)
A ridiculous dive won Barcelona the penalty. Busquets doubled Barcelona's lead from an excellent Xavi free kick. Kaka' drilled a centre against Pique to pull a goal back. Messi played a one-two with Fabregas and nonchalantly ignored Mexes' red card tackle as he burst into the box and lobbed over Abbiati. Great goal.
